BED-ROLL OR ANTIFRICTION-ROLLER ARRANGEMENT FOR PRINTING-PRESSES, cito.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 790,788, dated May 23, 1905.

Application iiled May 14, 1904. Serial No. 207,974.

To LZZ whom. it 'n1/(ty concern.

Be it known that I, GEORGE P. FENNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New London, county of New London, Connecticut, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bed-Roll or Antifriction-Roller Arrange* ment for Printing-Presses, &c., of which the following is a specification.

By means of this invention rolls can be kept in position by simple means or litted without diiiculty or friction.

This invention is set forth in the following specification and claim and illustrated in the annexed drawings, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of amachine or press embodying this invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged View of part of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a section along w Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a section along y y, Fig. 2.

In the drawings at a is shown a type-bed or part thereof. The rail or steel of the bed is shown at b and the track at c. The bar CZ keeps the rolls e under the bed in position or suitably spaced. Pins are fastened in this bar at correct intervals for holding the rolls, the latter being' suitably mounted on suoli pins or axles.

At suitable intervals are studs f, which project from the rack and have heads f sunk into the respective roller having countersunk recess to receive the stud or head. Such studs or bolts serve to keep the bar in place or prevent the same moving sidewise. All the studs projecting from the spacing-bar need not be headed or counterbored, but merely a suilicient number to prevent the bar or the studs or axles on the bar from slipping or moving out of the rollers.

The roller is kept in position between the two sides of the track. Hence the roller runs in a groove, which prevents excessive endwise motion.

With this device the roller-frame is light and easily made, making it possible to use longer rolls in the same width of track than would be the case if there were a slider-frame employed, such as heretofore in common use. The track is shown with flanges nor sides g of unequal width or height. The rollers running between these flanges are kept in position thereby.

The bar l is shown in plane or alinement with the lower or narrower track side or flange, giving a structure which is compact or of neat appearance or finish.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure byv Letters Patent, is-

A track having flanges of unequal height,

rollers fitted in the track, a spacing-bar alined or in plane with the lower flange to form an extension thereof and studs on the bar engaging the rollers, some of the studs being headed or held by the rollers to maintain the bar in position.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
